Campanayuq Rumi, Archaeological site in Vilcas Huamán, Peru.

The Campanayuq Rumi complex spans 15 hectares at an elevation of 3600 meters, featuring platforms arranged around a central plaza with ceremonial spaces.

Archaeological evidence indicates occupation phases from 1100 BCE, with the main construction period occurring between 950-500 BCE during the Early Horizon period.

The name combines Spanish and Quechua languages, translating to Stone of the Bell, reflecting the linguistic heritage of the Andean region.

The archaeological site sits 600 meters east of Vilcashuamán, requiring appropriate hiking equipment and acclimatization due to the high altitude location.

Researchers discovered a sunken circular plaza at the top of the central platform in 2018, confirming its function as a regional ceremonial center.
